By 1400 hours on July 22, 2014 we found ourselves amidst very busy power boat traffic in the town of Tonawanda, N.Y. - the western end of the Erie Canal.
We cleared under our last bridge and pulled up to the dock at Wardell's in order to step our mast. Here we experienced a trip down memory lane as we scrolled through Dennis Wardell's logbook and found our entry from Sept. 6, 2006 alongside Nausicaa ad Wingspread, when we stepped the mast to enter the canal heading south.
We were euphoric as the perfect sailing conditions allowed us to enjoy a wonderful sail to our Canada Customs check-in point at Port. Maitland, Ontario (on the Grand River). We spent our first night back in Canada aground in a slip, guests of the Port Maitland Sailing Club - very happy to be back home in the Great Lakes again.
